Backstory:
Born under the shimmering lights of the Las Vegas strip, ‘Glittering Ornament’ was destined for the sparkle from the start. The initial concept of the band was sparked by the glamorous and flamboyant lead singer, Vince ‘Vegas’ Valentin, a seasoned performer who spent his early years as an Elvis impersonator. Realizing he wanted more than just the king’s hand-me-downs, Vince put out an ad for bandmates who shared his vision for a sound as dazzling as the Vegas nightlife. Answering the call were sassy keyboardist, Lavender ‘Luxe’ Larkin, badass drummer, Rico ‘Rhythm’ Reyes, and suave bassist, Sterling ‘Strings’ Sorenson.
These four eclectic talents found a harmonious mix of their varied backgrounds to create a sound that was both nostalgic and fresh. Refusing to be categorized, they began making music that was as varied and vibrant as a box of Crayola crayons. From their impromptu jam sessions in a glitzy motel room emerged Glittering Ornament – a vibrant nod to the bedazzled city they call home.

Title: ‘Vegas Velvet Nights’
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1 Em G D A]
Beneath the neon lights, in Vegas velvet nights,
We danced away our dreams, in sequin-clad delight.
Glitter dusted skies, mirrored in your eyes,
In this city of sin, we found our paradise.
[Pre-Chorus Bm G D A]
We’re kings and queens of the casino scene,
Spinning stories on roulette wheels unseen.
[Chorus Em G D A]
Let’s toast the night, under the marquee light,
In Vegas velvet nights, we’ll set the world alight.
Guilty pleasures, forbidden treasures,
In Vegas velvet nights, we find our measures.
[Verse 2 Em G D A]
Lost in poker faces, in these timeless spaces,
We trade our reality, for these gilded graces.
Diamonds in the rough, in this town that’s tough,
We find our truth, in the bluff.
[Pre-Chorus Bm G D A]
We’re fools for the jackpot’s gleam,
Selling dreams in this desert theme.
[Chorus Em G D A]
Let’s toast the night, under the marquee light,
In Vegas velvet nights, we’ll set the world alight.
Guilty pleasures, forbidden treasures,
In Vegas velvet nights, we find our measures.
[Bridge Bm G D A]
In the city that never sleeps, we’re in too deep,
Selling secrets we’re meant to keep,
In the city of neon dreams, nothing’s as it seems,
We’re just players in the game, we’re just names.
[Chorus Em G D A]
Let’s toast the night, under the marquee light,
In Vegas velvet nights, we’ll set the world alight.
Guilty pleasures, forbidden treasures,
In Vegas velvet nights, we find our measures.
[Fadeout Em G D A]
In Vegas velvet nights, under the starry lights,
We gamble with our hearts, and bet on neon sights.
